This Master’s by Research course provides an ideal opportunity to develop your research skills and expertise in an extended project in an area based within the biological, physical, computing, mathematical or engineering sciences. This will equip you with the professional experience in a laboratory environment, field setting, and/or in computational modelling necessary for a future career in research. Students work on a research project in their chosen discipline and grow to become accomplished in the latest scientific developments in their field of research. You will work closely with your supervisory team in order to have the chance to acquire the specialist skills necessary to pursue your chosen career path. Our School's proactive, diverse and inclusive research community provides extensive opportunities for peer learning and research collaboration. Our research staff ensure that all offered research projects are relevant to current industrial needs, providing highly employable skills to our graduates. We have a strong focus on areas such as sustainability and the environment, health and wellbeing, and culture and society. You will undertake a taught research methods module as well as get to choose another that is relevant to your research topic from our suite of postgraduate options. Throughout the year you will undertake your research project, finally producing a written thesis.
Getting in
As the university states it
Applicants should normally possess an upper second class honours degree in any relevant discipline with additional emphasis placed upon the student's preparedness for study and performance at interview which will inform the selection process. A lower second class degree may be mitigated by substantial relevant work experience. Decisions concerning the allocation of credit, either for admission or advanced standing, will be the responsibility of a Credit Allocation Panel. Credit value will be given for appropriate certificated or experiential learning completed within the previous five years and through which an applicant can demonstrate prior achievement of learning outcomes related to one or more programme modules. A student seeking advanced standing must apply before enrolment. Each student will be interviewed as required in all Chester Research Degrees and the Interview record form will be completed and submitted to Postgraduate Research Admissions with the completed application.
